[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [qb] I remember Razib used to post on a blog titled "Gene Expession" back in the early 2000's. I don't know if he was one of them, but that blog had a [i]lot[/i] of pseudoscientific Rushton-style "HBD" types posting there. It wouldn't surprise me if some of their views rubbed off onto his. He wouldn't necessarily have to think Europeans are the superior race like a white supremacist though. Looking down on African people and their culture would be enough. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, "Gene Expression" is also where I first came across his work. As far as his views, again look at my previous post as it concerns 'Desis'. [QUOTE] [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] His name is Razi[b]b[/b] Khan and YES the guy has issues when it comes to African genetics. I've actually gotten into a few debates with him concerning population genetics in Southeast Asia.[/qb][/QUOTE]Out of curiosity, where did you argue with this guy, and what were you debating on that topic? [/qb][/QUOTE]It was some years ago in one of the Asian history and culture forums (I forgot which one). The debate was who colonized the East Indies first-- Austroasiatic speakers or Austronesian speakers. His argument was the former based solely on genetics even though the linguistics doesn't add up. He obviously makes the mistake of making a strict correlation between population and language. He also does not take into account any loss of linguistic diversity in Southeast Asia much less population diversity. He doesn't even know that there were Neolithic civilizations in Southeast Asia created by pre-modern (pre-mongloid) i.e. aboriginal populations who show affinities to aboriginal populations of eastern India. This is why I say not all of his assessments on Eurasian population genetics is on point. [/QB][/QUOTE]
